My lady, I'm going to rebel.
Chapter 145 Wang Zhaojun
The reward was in the form of silver notes, and Mu Zheng had made a considerable fortune on this mission. Although the Xiongnu's currency was not compatible with the Xin Dynasty's, Mu Zheng could exchange it for jewelry and bring it back to the Central Plains.
"Can I continue to take new tasks?" Mu Zheng asked the pawnshop boy.
"Of course! Please come this way, hero." The servant was very respectful, after all, the person standing in front of him was a ruthless man.
Mu Zheng smiled, turned and entered the diamond-shaped room.
Soon after, he picked a target and was about to go out, but he saw the two Timu sisters coming in.
A little surprised.
After all, the task sign the other party held was square, so they shouldn't be able to come in.
But Mu Zheng didn't ask any more questions. After all, he had already known that the identities of the sisters were not simple.
The two sides looked at each other. No one knew what expressions were on their faces under the masks, but the sisters nodded towards Mu Zheng naturally, and Mu Zheng also nodded.
We understand each other tacitly without saying a word.
“Chongqing people!”
After coming out of the diamond-shaped room, a servant came forward.
"What's wrong?" Mu Zheng asked.
"The pawnshop's management wants to see you." The servant said politely.
Oh?
Mu Zheng was a little surprised. It was only his second time coming to Pawnshop No. 18, but he didn't expect to attract the other party's attention.
If it were someone else, they would probably be very willing to make friends with the pawnshop's top management.
But Mu Zheng didn't.
His purpose was not to please the pawnshop's top management, he just wanted to use the pawnshop's information to help him assassinate people from the four generals' mansions.
Simply put, he is not willing to reveal too much information about himself.
"You are from Chongqing, can you please move aside?" The servant said politely, but from his expression, he had already determined that Mu Zheng would not refuse.
Ok……
But he didn't expect that looking at Mu Zheng's expression, he seemed to be really hesitating.
"Hero?" The servant even changed his address.
Mu Zheng frowned, "Okay, you lead the way."
Since the other party had already invited him, Mu Zheng decided to go for the meeting. After all, he still needed to get information from the other party's subordinates, and it was a good opportunity to see what the other party's purpose was in looking for him.
All of this was seen by the Timu sisters.
"Sister, do you think the people at the pawn shop are going to recruit him?"
"It's very likely. After all, Mu Zheng only needed a day or two to demonstrate his strength."
"Then let's..."
"It's okay. We don't have a hostile relationship with the pawnshop itself. As for Mu Zheng, we'll wait and see."
Mu Zheng was brought to a room where an old man sat with his eyes closed, his mind wandering. In front of them was a cup of steaming milk tea, the steam rising from it making the room feel a little warmer.
"Sit down!" Feeling Mu Zheng looking at him, the old man opened his eyes and naturally invited Mu Zheng to drink milk tea.
"What? Are you still reluctant to take off the mask?" After hearing the old man's words, Mu Zheng remembered that he was still wearing a mask, while the old man showed his true face.
"Excuse me, boss, is there anything I can do for you?" Mu Zheng answered the question irrelevantly. It was not because he was insincere, but he really did not want to take off the mask before knowing the other party's identity and purpose.
"Haha, I just like young people, especially those who are capable and powerful. My name is Kaduhan, and I am the leader of Pawnshop No. 18."
Mu Zheng bit his lip lightly. The old man gave his name as soon as he arrived. Did he really want to make friends with him, or was he using it as bait to trick him into revealing his real information?
Mu Zheng didn't know.
"Master, if you have something to say, just say it."
Uh.
Kaduhan was speechless. He hadn't expected the man before him to be so meticulous. He even refused to drink the cup of milk tea placed before him.
"It's good for young people to be vigilant, especially in our line of work as assassins. Only by being prepared at all times can you succeed, and only by being on guard at all times can you avoid dying so quickly."
Kaduhan drank the milk tea in one gulp and looked at Mu Zheng with a smile, "In that case, let's play a little game. I'll ask you a question, and you ask me a question. We'll swap and neither of us will suffer any loss."
Mu Zheng's expression changed. He didn't have many questions about the Huns, nor did he have many questions about the four generals' mansions.
But since he is now working on the assassination of the four generals, he must know as much as possible.
"Sure!" Mu Zheng replied, "Please go first!"
Kaduhan looked at Mu Zheng with a smile, "You are not from the Central Plains, right?"
Mu Zheng was not surprised. He thought that even if the other party did not ask too many questions when recruiting the killer, they would still investigate him secretly.
Mu Zheng nodded and said, "I'm from the Central Plains."
After saying that, Kaduhan nodded slightly, and then said to Mu Zheng, "You can ask me now."
"Why does Pawnshop No. 18 exist?" Mu Zheng wanted to know whether this Pawnshop No. 18 had an official background or an underworld background. If it had an underworld background, could it be used for his own benefit?
Kaduhan hadn't expected Mu Zheng to ask this. He took a sip of his milk tea and said, "The reason Pawnshop No. 18 can exist is because of the Four Generals' Mansions. Many years ago, Tuwei City had only one king, named Yitu Zhiyashi. Now that the city's overlord has changed hands, there must be a reason."
Master Yitu Zhiya?
Mu Zheng frowned. He was unfamiliar with the name and had never heard of it before. Even if he had heard of it, he couldn't remember it.
Seeing Mu Zheng frown, Kaduhan smiled and said, "Maybe you are not familiar with this name, but you should have heard of her mother's name."
"Oh? Who is it?" Mu Zheng was curious.
Kaduhan smiled slightly: "It's my turn to ask you."
Mu Zheng was stunned, thinking that this old fox really knew how to keep people in suspense. "Excuse me."
Kaduhan took a sip of milk tea and said in a calm tone, "The mission you accepted yesterday was to kill Gan Da, and the mission you accepted today was to assassinate Huo Feng of the Huo family. Do you have a grudge against the four generals' mansions?"
Mu Zheng stared at Kaduhan.
After a long moment, he nodded and said, "No grudge!"
"No grudge?" Mu Zheng didn't expect Kaduhan to react so strongly. He felt like his head was about to reach him. "If you don't have any grudge, then why are you going after them? What are you willing to do?"
Mu Zheng smiled: "This is also the next question."
Uh.
Kaduhan seemed to regain his composure and composed himself again, "Okay, now it's your turn to ask questions."
Mu Zheng thought about it, but couldn't figure out what to ask: "Then tell me about the name I might know."
Kaduhan was not surprised at all. He looked slightly in one direction and then placed his right hand on his chest, which was a Hun etiquette.
"Ning Hulan's family."
Ok?
Mu Zheng was stunned.
Kaduhan further explained, "This is what we Xiongnu call her. In your Central Plains, her name is Wang Qiang."
Oh.
Mu Zheng was a little disappointed. He had never heard of this name before.
Just when Mu Zheng was about to stop asking, a name suddenly popped up in his mind: "Wait, are you talking about Wang Qiang? Wang Zhaojun?"
